South African International Business Linkages (SAIBL)
www.saibl.com
SAIBL empowers business through trade and investment partnerships between
historically disadvantaged South African small and medium enterprises and
U.S. companies, South African corporations, and multinationals.
For historically disadvantaged South African companies, SAIBL offers training
and business capacity support. SAIBL mentors growth-oriented enterprises to
become locally and internationally competitive, and introduces them to new
markets and buyers.
For U.S. companies, South African corporations, and multinationals,
SAIBL identifies pre-screened South African partners and suppliers.
Recent Success Stories:
Yenza Manufacturing is one of South Africa’s first historically
disadvantaged enterprises to manufacture parts for the international
automotive industry and supplies components to three auto giants
-DaimlerChrysler, General Motors, and Volkswagen. SAIBL helped Yenza
develop its quality management system and funded training and travel to
overseas trade shows.
KPL Aluminum and Die Casting is a woman-owned manufacturer of
bathroom accessories, refrigerator hinges and automotive spindles and
ferrules. SAIBL helped KPL win a $1.25 million contract by providing
assistance in obtaining ISO 9002 certification.
West Africa International Business Linkages (WAIBL)
www.ccawaibl.org
WAIBL fosters commercial relationships between U.S. and West African
businesses. The program works to facilitate export/import transactions, joint
ventures and strategic alliances between companies. WAIBL sponsors sector
specific business forums in the U.S. and West Africa. To date, WAIBL has helped
generate more than $150 million worth of U.S.-West African transactions.
Recent Success Stories:
WAIBL helped Houston-based TransAtlantic Corporation partner with La
Messagerie Centrale, a Cameroonian company seeking to purchase buses for
public transportation in Cameroon. The resulting transaction, completed in
November 2004, was worth over $2 million and supports the purchasing and
acquisition of 8 buses from the United States. The two companies are now
working on subsequent transactions and TransAtlantic Corporation is
pursuing further business in other African countries.
Through a WAIBL linkage, Nigeria-based OK Computers and Total Services
Solutions (TSS), a Maryland-based technological services firm, launched a
hi-tech Community Resource Center in Abuja, Nigeria. The center provides
Nigerians access to the Internet and other technology resources. TSS and OK
Computers are planning to develop 5 more centers across the country. Within
the project's scope, OK Computers needed equipment to furnish the centers.
WAIBL introduced OK Computers to Laptop Dogs, a U.S. supplier of used and
refurbished IT equipment who has now been filling orders for OK Computers
for over a year and will continue to provide equipment as more centers open.
